Naturally, no cheesy girlie playlist would be complete without Beyoncé's "Single Ladies."
(Hey, I tried to warn you.)
In case you live under a rock (or just have far better taste in music AND the ability to filter out this kind of mainstream garbage) the video for the song -- which, for the record, we heard played FIVE times at Moon this Valentine's Day, and we arrived at midnight -- is at the top.
Apparently I'm not alone in my love for this song. Or for the already-dated SNL parody of the music video, featuring Ms. Sasha Fierce herself, along with Justin Timberlake (who I actually have come to respect as a result of all his self-depreciating work on SNL); my non-romantic funny man crush, Andy Samberg, and the always enjoyable Bobby Moynihan.
The skit, which premiered on NBC back in November, was by far my favorite few minutes of SNL in a long, long time.
It parodies the Beyoncé's sexy video using leotarded-up Timberlake, Samberg and Moynihan in the place of the very sexy, very female back-up dancers in the actual video.
Naturally, hilarity ensues.
My favorite part:
"You boys warmed up?"
"Oh we're warmed up."
"We're warmed up like biscuits."
"Yeah, dance biscuits."
As luck would have it, I stumbled upon a few other "Single Ladies" parodies today while I was trotting though YouTube.
They include an Italian version featuring 22-year-old daughter, 42-year-old mother and 66-year-old grandmother; and a Dan Band parody (yet another gem from FunnyOrDie.com).
So to all the single ladies out there, enjoy.
And to all the single guys: enjoy the videos, too -- just remember not to take your girl for granted because before you know it, your fine-behinded version of Beyoncé might be on her way out the door, leaving you with nothing more than the chorus a-ringin' in your ears: "If you like it then you should've put a ring on it..."
"Uh-uh-oh, uh-uh-oh, uh-uh-oh, uh-uh-oh..."
